Adora Hazzard has it all figured out.

A Stoic philosopher and contented divorcée, she relishes her teenage daughter, her job as a moral tutor for an old-money family, and the bliss of finally being solo.

She''s also quietly assembling a ''coven'' of like-minded single women on the sixth floor of the legendary Ansonia building on New York''s Upper West Side. Together, they share groceries, dog walkers - and one dirty little secret: despite their age, they''re only just getting started.

Adora''s life philosophy is simple: want only what you already have. It''s her secret to happiness until a chance encounter with a charming stranger stirs long-buried passions.

Soon, her carefully curated life unravels: black-market art, secret rendezvous, international intrigue and a past she''s worked hard to forget crash into her present. Suddenly, Adora finds herself wanting more and she''s willing to risk everything to get it.

Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman''s mid-life transformation, a romance with wit, a page-turner of ideas, a globe-trotting mother-daughter story, all wrapped in a mystery with a socko twist.
